Ingredients:

1 lb kielbasa, sliced
1 (16 oz) package frozen pierogi (cheese and potato or your choice)
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups sauerkraut, drained (optional)
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions:

Layer Ingredients:
In the bottom of your crockpot, layer half of the sliced kielbasa. Then, add half of the frozen pierogi and half of the diced onion.

Add Sauerkraut (if using):
If you’re using sauerkraut, layer half of it over the pierogi.

Repeat Layers:
Repeat the layers with the remaining kielbasa, pierogi, onion, and sauerkraut.

Prepare Sauce:
In a bowl, mix together the sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the crockpot.

Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the pierogi are cooked through and the kielbasa is heated.

Add Cheese:
In the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover to let it melt.

Serve:
Once cooked, gently stir the casserole and serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color!
